Reliability of Body Landmarks Analyzer for Measuring the Quadriceps Angle
Genovarum and Genovalgum are the most common postural deformities of the knee joint. A quadriceps angle is used to measure these anomalies. Methods of measuring this angle are divided into two categories: invasive and non-invasive. The purpose of the present research was to study the inter/intra rater reliability of the non-invasive Body Landmarks Analyzer method for measuring of the quadriceps...
متن کاملA New Method for Measuring the Angle of Hallux Valgus
Objectives. The aim of this study is to introduce a new way and assign its reliability and validity in measuring the angle of hallux valgus. Methods. In this method, we have proceeded to introduce a simple way for measuring the angle of hallux valgus by using ruler and mathematical formulas. For doing this study, we selected 25students and measured their angle of hallux valgus with new way ...
متن کاملA comparison of the validity and reliability between a digital radiographic imaging system and manual method in measuring the Cobb angle
Methods Twenty adolescents with scoliotic curvatures were chosen to participate in the study based on convenience, without predilection for gender, age, type or location. Images of the curvatures were examined by 15 trained observers to estimate the Cobb angle variability, as well as intraand inter-observer variations. Each image was measured three times at a minimum interval of one week betwee...
متن کاملA Semi-Automatic Algorithm for Estimating Cobb Angle
Background: Scoliosis is the most common type of spinal deformity. A universal and standard method for evaluating scoliosis is Cobb angle measurement, but several studies have shown that there is intra- and inter- observer variation in measuring cobb angle manually.Objective: Develop a computer- assisted system to decrease operator-dependent errors in Cobb angle measurement.Methods: The spinal ...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Reliability of a Method for Measuring Hamstring Active Peak Torque Angle
Introduction: Muscle length can be inferred from the length-tension relationship of the muscle. This relationship is traditionally investigated by measuring the peak torque produced by the muscle and the angle at which it is generated. Objective: The present study investigated the test-retest reliability of a method for measuring hamstring active peak torque angle in healthy young adults. Metho...
